Welcome to the I AM Affirmations.

I'm Andrew and I'm glad to see you here in this tech space.

This space is a special place where we cultivate positivity,

Resilience,

And self-belief through the power of affirmations.

Our words have power,

And these affirmations will serve as your guide on the journey to self-discovery and improvement.

But before we delve into the affirmations,

We need to create the right environment.

So I would like to invite you to participate in a simple yet powerful breathing exercise.

And this exercise can be your gateway to relaxation and focused attention.

So to start this exercise,

You can close your eyes and let the world around you fade.

Take a deep breath in,

Allowing the air to fill your lungs completely.

Hold that breath for a moment,

And then exhale slowly,

Releasing any tension or stress that you may be carrying.

So you take a deep breath in,

You hold that breath for a moment,

Letting the stillness settle within you,

And then you exhale slowly.

Breathe in,

Hold,

And breathe out.

Breathe in,

Hold,

And breathe out.

Breathe in,

Hold,

And breathe out.

Breathe in,

Hold,

And breathe out.

This breathing exercise is not just about relaxation,

It's about creating a mindful space within you,

A space that is ready to receive and engage with the affirmations.

And now that you are ready to receive the affirmations,

Let us begin this journey together.
